The ATM-2 is still one of the best of its type (push-pull pentode) using excellent parts (ex: Tamradio output transformer).
The problem is that it sounds TOO transparent, if you call that a problem. :)
I used a passive preamp for years, but have switched to an active tube preamp for more tube sound.
Reduce the output bias to the middle of the meter will also make the midrange sweeter, but you will drop the bass control a little bit.
Looking back, I paid too much for this amp (~10K), and will never pay this much for any hi-fi item.
